Verma Cosmetic and Family Dentistry proudly offers Invisalign - the clear way to straighten teeth.  Dr. Verma is a certified invisalign provider. Invisalign is effective for a wide range of smiles. The Invisalign system has been successful in giving hundreds of thousands of amazing smiles to both teens and adults by gradually moving teeth through a series of custom-made, removable, nearly invisible Aligners.  The Invisalign system can treat a number of malocclusion problems that include:

• Overly crowded teeth - not enough room for the teeth
• Widely spaced teeth - spaces between the teeth
• Deepbites - upper front teeth hide lower teeth
• Openbites - back teeth are together but space is present between the front teeth
• Crossbites m- upper teeth fit inside lower teeth

Midline Shift - center of upper teeth and center of lower teeth don't line up
Straighter teeth can lead to:
Healthier Gums
Properly positioned teeth are easier to brush and floss than teeth that are crowded, crooked or spaced too far apart. Properly aligned teeth can help gums "fit" tighter around them, which may lead to improved periodontal health.

Easier Cleanings
With a good oral hygiene program, the chances for having plaque retention, tooth decay, and periodontal disease can be reduced.

Improved Chewing and Speech
In some instances, speech problems may result from poorly positioned teeth and jaws.  Correction of the bite can help improve chewing and speech.

Decreased Risk of Dental Trauma and Abnormal Wear
Properly aligned teeth are less stressful on the supporting bone and jaw joints.

More Beautiful Smiles
Straightening your teeth with Invisalign will make you feel less self-conscious and more confident.

Now nothing comes between your lifestyle and having an incredible smile. Because Invisalign offers you comfort, convenience and virtual invisibility during treatment. With Invisalign, you can:

• Be as active as you like because Invisalign won’t hold you back
• Remove your aligners for special events, eating and brushing
• Feel more confident everywhere you go

Look your best during treatment.
Invisalign is clear and practically invisible, so nothing gets in the way of your new smile. No wonder Invisalign is the choice of over half a million people.

• Unobtrusive in business meetings or social gatherings
• No metal wires or bands to irritate your mouth
• Many people won’t notice you’re wearing aligners

How long in treatment does it take to get straight teeth?
Length of time is case specific but on average it can take 9-18 months.

How many aligners are used generally and how much does the treatment cost?
Again it depends on the problem that is being corrected but before the treatment is started Dr. Verma can give a good idea on the length of time and number of aligner that the treatment will entail.  The cost of the treatment also depends on the number of aligners needed..

Does insurance cover the procedure?
If your insurance cover orthodontics it should cover invisalign.

Do the aligners need to be worn 24/7?
Yes, aligners are removable but need to be worn 24/7 - they are removed only when brushing, flossing and eating.  Therefore you can prevent tooth decay and gum disease that some other orthodontic appliances can cause.
